Bradley Walsh first entered the world of entertainment as a Bluecoat for Pontins, but now the actor and TV presenter is a household name.
From his breakout role as Danny Baldwin in Coronation Street to spending over a decade as the host of the hit ITV game show The Chase, Bradley is now a very familiar face on British TV.
Walsh continues to see success in his TV career, as he's recently returned to star in the second series of The Larkins and has given more of an insight into his family life with his series, Bradley & Barney Walsh: Breaking Dad.
The father-and-son travel series has seen the TV presenter embark on some epic road trips alongside his son, and is currently on its fourth season.
But as well as his son, Bradley's family life also includes his older daughter, as well as his wife of 25 years — here's who they are.
Who is Bradley Walsh's wife?
Bradley Walsh's wife is Donna Derby, a choreographer and former dancer.
Donna danced in the music video for Robert Palmers 1980s hit Simply Irresistible and has also choreographed routines for Miss World.
Like Bradley, Donna has also had a career in showbiz, appearing on The Kenny Everett Television Show in the late 1980s.
Bradley and Donna have been married since 1997, so have now been together for over 25 years, and the couple are regularly seen attending red carpet events.
The Chase star also previously revealed that Donna had a big impact on his career, telling the Mirror: "I wouldn’t swap my missus for the world.
"Donna isn’t just beautiful; she’s the most fantastic wife and mother. It’s because of her I signed with Coronation Street.
"She’s the one who recognised what it could do for me even though it would mean being apart."
In 1997, Bradley and Donna also welcomed their son Barney Walsh.
Barney has followed in his parents' footsteps, appearing alongside his dad in their ITV travel series and also making an appearance in last year's Christmas special of The Larkins.
Who did Bradley Walsh have a daughter with?
As well as his son with Donna Derby, Bradley Walsh also has a daughter from a previous relationship.
Bradley welcomed his daughter Hayley Walsh with his ex-partner Debby Parker in 1982.
Hayley is now 40 years old and has one child of her own, making Bradley a grandfather for the first time last year.
Revealing the news to Saga magazine, Bradley shared: "I am a grandfather! My daughter and her husband Tom have had a baby boy who is coming up for five months old."
He added: "It's been tricky as during lockdown no one could get to see their grandchildren. Thank God for FaceTime – it has kept people in touch.”
Unlike her father and brother, Hayley isn't in the showbiz industry and is actually a trained MAR Reflexologist.
